Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest control companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
We narrowed down the top pest control companies by looking at factors like coverage, customer satisfaction, types of pest control treatments offered, industry experience, and more.
Here’s how Fort Carson’s top providers ranked:
Terminix’s headquarters are in Memphis, Tennessee, but it has branches in 45 states and several countries around the globe. It has also been in business for almost 100 years. It uses the latest pest control techniques to exterminate pests anywhere you see them.
Terminix treats many types of pests in Fort Carson, and it guarantees that your pest problems will be solved. Their service also comes with follow-up visits and annual inspections to help keep your home pest-free.
If you need immediate pest control service in Fort Carson, Orkin might be the company for you. Founded in 1901, Orkin has become one of the largest pest control companies in the country. Its exterminators have to undergo 160 hours of training. And, because of its large network, it can usually offer next-day — or even same-day — pest control.
Orkin offers an expert property inspection to identify potential problems and develop treatment plan. Orkin can set up regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurring pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and almost a century of experience in the industry. In North America, Rentokil is the parent company of quite a few local pest control companies like Presto-X, Western Exterminator, and J.C. Ehrlich.
Rentokil can help you with the common pests in Fort Carson, including crickets, mosquitoes, cockroaches, bed bugs, ants, bees, flies, moths, spiders, and wasps. After the initial inspection and treatment of your home, a technician will treat your property every quarter.
Not all pest control providers are the equal in credibility, skill set, and proficiency. Evaluating services helps you identify the right choice for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when hiring a pest control professional:
It's recommended to look for a pest control company that specializes in treating the pest you have, like roaches, bed bugs, termites, or rodents. The company should provide an overview of how they treat your type of pest.
When choosing a pest control company, look for technicians with certifications in pest control methods from respected industry associations, such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), on top of proper state licensing. Solid credentials show that the technicians have completed adequate training. Also ask about required training hours and continuing education.
Peruse reviews on Google, Yelp, and similar sites before scheduling a pest control appointment. Verify for yourself that the company reliably provides effective service and receives positive customer feedback. Also check the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints that have been filed. Ask whether technicians receive continuing regular education on the latest and most innovative pest control treatments. When you choose an exterminator from our list of the top pest control in Fort Carson, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" accreditations. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Keep in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider the traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, any pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) are required to be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers normally offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat your home for free if there are still pests after the first treatment. One-time services usually don't include reservice guarantees.
Once you have determined your top pest control providers, reach out to each one with these questions:
Take the time to thoroughly evaluate pest control companies using these questions. This will allow you to select the best provider to effectively control your pest situation at a fair price.
Fort Carson is home to various pests, from insects to wildlife. To help you prepare for the most common pests, we analyzed online discussions and created a list of the ones mentioned the most.
Our top picks for the best pest control companies in Fort Carson are Orkin and Terminix. They're well known in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
Hiring a pest control company and having a professional spray your property every quarter is the best way to prevent future pest infestations. This deters insects and animals from coming inside your home.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. That being said, they must be handled by a professional exterminator to ensure they’re used properly and safely, which is especially important if you have young children. After your house has been sprayed, your exterminator will recommend staying out of your home for a certain period of time. This is typically 2 to 4 hours, but can be a maximum of 24 hours.
Whether you should do pest control yourself or hire a company depends on the situation. You’ll want to take into consideration factors like what chemicals need to be used, the size of the infestation, and how much the pest control will cost. Additionally, you may want to also get professional pest control if you're concerned about your young children.
Many Fort Carson homeowners are concerned about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control usually costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 a visit. To figure out exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend contacting several pest control providers for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you’d just like preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before nest and colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. However, it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
